Cloudflare is opt-in. In my scenario, the ISP purposely degrades the service unless you pay more. This isn't hypothetical as it has been proven they did/do to Netflix traffic. Cloudflare isn't going to DDoS every site that doesn't sign up for their service. The value of doing surgery successfully via the internet is high. Are you really that naive that you don't think ISPs will attempt to capture as much of that value as they possibly can? Do you want to live in a world where an ISP determines the worth of your internet traffic and attempts to bill you based on the content, not the actual bandwidth used?

  > You are subscribing to ad hominem attacks, without knowledge of how these services get built, paid for & capitalized upon. Please. Your company provides a commodity. You are a utility and soon will be regulated as such. There is nothing special about what you do vs. ISPx ISPy or ISPz. If our current model worked, we (the US) wouldn't have third-world quality internet at first world prices. I am a pretty conservative guy, but in this case: enough is enough. You guys got greedy, and people are pissed. > I work for an ISP Change is coming. Prepare accordingly.
